Analytical methods to check the purity of active pharmaceuticals have been described in pharmacopeias. HPLC-UV detection is the most common analytical liquid chromatography technique for impurity profiling in QC laboratories because of its ease-of-use, robustness, and reliability. However, there are many occasions where ultraviolet (UV) detection has limitations, including cases where analytes ...

We describe a free spinor field on a noncommutative sphere starting from a canonical realization of the algebra U(u(2|1)) and a sequence of su(2)-invariant embeddings of su(2) representations. The gauge extension of the model the Schwinger model on a noncommutative sphere is defined and the model is quantized. Due to the noncommutativity of the sphere, the model contains only a finite number of...

In this paper, we consider an application of distributed detection and fusion framework to utterance verification (UV) and confidence measure (CM) objectives. We formulate the UV as a distributed detection and Bayesian fusion problem by combining various individual UV methods. We essentially design an optimal fusion rule that achieves minimum error rate. In the relevant isolated word OOV reject...

The progress of antisense DNA therapy demands development of reliable and convenient methods for sequencing short single-stranded oligonucleotides. A method of phosphorothioate antisense DNA sequencing analysis using UV detection coupled to capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been developed based on a modified chain termination sequencing method. The proposed method reduces the sequencing cost s...

Procedures for the generation and collection of transient UV-visible absorbance data are briefly reviewed. Problems associated with signal generation (scattered light, inhomogeneous distribution of transients, instability of pulsed light sources), signal detection (averaging, filtering), and signal analysis in kinetic and spectrographic flash photolysis are addressed. Methodology for the fittin...

Deep UV fluorescence detection at 266-nm excitation wavelength has been realized for sensitive detection in microchip electrophoresis. For this purpose, an epifluorescence setup was developed enabling the coupling of a deep UV laser into a commercial fluorescence microscope. Deep UV laser excitation utilizing a frequency quadrupled pulsed laser operating at 266 nm shows an impressive performanc...

A rapid, simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determination of ciprofloxacin in plasma by means of ultraviolet detection. Ofloxacin was used as an internal standard and separation carried on a Novapak C18 column using a mobile phase of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH =2.6): methanol (82: 18 v/v). Extraction of drug was performed from plasma by liquid-...

Semiconductor-based ultraviolet (UV) photodiodes have been continuously developed that can be widely used in various commercial, civilian areas, and military applications, such as optical communications, missile launching detection, flame detection, UV radiation calibra‐ tion and monitoring, chemical and biological analysis, optical communications, and astro‐ nomical studies, etc. [1-2]. All th...

The paper presents an adaptive system for Voiced/Unvoiced (V/UV) speech detection in the presence of background noise. Genetic algorithms were used to select the features that offer the best V/UV detection according to the output of a background Noise Classifier (NC) and a Signal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation (SNRE) system. The system was implemented, and the tests performed using the TIMIT speech ...
